William Jennings Bryan
Christian Statesman.
Wc cannot have “purity in the
state" unless our statesmen are
pure. There he plenty of men in
public life—nen of national prom
inence in the political realm, who
have plenty of brains and ability
so tar as statecraft is concerned,
hut such men with a spotless
Christian character are as rare as
they are refreshing.
Such a man is William J IJryan.
Never mind whether you agree
The say). What stirring words of
patriotism, of loyalty, of startling
bravery!
Everybody knows how, in the
winsome speech of John Temple
Graves, he want "like a line of
light" from East to West redeem

kept every scintilla of his every
promise.
All the world knows how, going
from his native Illinois and begin
ning with nothing but the mint of
his own genius, his eloquence and
his character he reversed an over
whelming majority and went to
away a crown as he would brush
away a fly if it comes between him
and Duty!.
This is the coronet that Chris
tian manhood wears—this is the
